Non-Blue flag beaches to enter Green Coast awards comp

24 May 2016

Louth County Council has been asked to enter non Blue Flag beaches in the county, in a separate awards scheme.
In order to qualify for Blue Flag status, beaches must have an excellent standard of bathing water quality and meet 33 criteria.
Clogherhead, Port and Templetown beaches have been awarded the flags.
Fine Gael Cllr. Oliver Tully says that by entering the Green Coast Awards it would raise public awareness in relation to other local beaches.
